UPDATES: Senate Dems 1.7 TRILLION spending spree passed and THESE 18 ‘Republicans’ were on board

by Fred T

JUST IN: The massive spending bill that Mitch proudly touted a deal with Democrats to obtain has passed the Senate and now goes to the House where there are some actual Republicans in office.

Fox notes the $1.7 TRILLION spending bill got through “with help from more than a dozen Republican lawmakers, after a fight over immigration policy nearly derailed the legislation.”

In an 68-29 vote, the Senate passed a bill that provides $858 billion for defense, $787 billion for non-defense domestic programs and nearly $45 billion for military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. The more than 4,000-page bill funds the government for the rest of the fiscal year, and includes more than 7,200 earmarks totaling more than $15 billion.

UPDATE: Here are the Republican Senators who undermined the new House majority and surrendered to Democrats on border issues and more.

This is a breaking story and may be updated.
